Kuih Bahulu is our Malaysian's all time favorite, it is sort of egg spongy cake with a little bit of dryness in the cake texture. The difference between Kuih Bahulu with French Madeleine are both has slightly different texture, crustiness and the after-taste. Of course, the main difference is kuih bahulu never use butter in the ingredients but madeleine does.

Therefore, I combined these kuih bahulu into typical classic look of French Madeleine shape by using my Madeleine silicon mold that I have purchased 2 years ago. In fact, this is only my 2nd time to use this mold. This is extremely easy to remove all these kuih bahulu from the mold after bake if you compare to the conventional steel mold. Looking back, this was my first attempt to make french Madeleine at Miri in year 2011 - French Madeleine (Made in Malaysia)

Believe it or not, this is easiest cake ever. My recipe only requires 3 ingredients and here you go, simple, easy and nice to eat!

Tomato is my most favorite vegetable. It can be my salad, cooked dishes or treats as fruits after meal. In my mind, how can I include this food into my bread? It sprang my mind to make them into fresh tomato bread!!!

There are so many benefits of tomato, such as good for eye sight, good gut health, low hypertension, relief from diabetes, skin problems and urinary tract infections. Tomato is considered both a fruit and vegetable. Daily consumption of tomato provides a great boost to health apart from improving the flavour of food. It consists of a large number of antioxidants which have been proven to fight different forms of cancer. It is a rich source of vitamins and minerals and exerts a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases. It also improves eye health and prevents hypertension and urinary tract infections.

With all these facts, undeniably I can eat them in various way in future - be it from raw until bake!

Loving this light and crispy, with a distinctly buttery flaky pastry as the main character of my whole chicken and mushroom pot pies. Added on some vivid green basil leave, fresh from my garden, indeed feeling a little bit of glory.

The toughest part in the whole baking process is the rolling and folding pastry sheet process. My friends always wonder, why don't I just but the ready made pastry sheet from supermarket?? The answer is definitely a "No" as you do not know whether they really using the real butter or just the margarine. And please do not use any margarine into any of your own bakes as it will endanger your health.

Well, cooking the chicken and mushroom job is way too easy but the tough part is the cutting progress. It took me about an hour just to cut nicely of all the ingredients to cook this chicken. OMG, cooking them are just used up 10 minutes.

Relook this making pastry process from scratch, although need to allow plenty of time, puff pastry does not require continuous work, just few minutes and then re-rolling about every half an hour. It's essential that everything be kept cold when making this puff pastry. Unfortunately the weather in Malaysia is just too hot, I need to chase with time as the butter inside will be melted so quickly.

It is always irresistible to enjoy a moist chocolate cake. Traditionally devil food cupcake has more chocolate than a regular chocolate cake, making it darker. The cake is usually paired with a rich chocolate frosting. Well, I should not call cupcakes here as 100% Devil Food as I do not have rich chocolate frosting as its pairing.

In fact, Devil's food cake is more airy and moist than other normal chocolate cakes, and often uses cocoa as opposed to chocolate for the flavor as well as coffee. The lack of melted chocolate is typically what distinguishes a Devil's food cake from a chocolate cake, though some recipes call for all, resulting in an even richer chocolate flavor. The use of hot, or boiling water as the cake's main liquid, rather than milk, is also a common difference.
